Greatest Yet
The Rutherfordton boys quint,
which meets the Shilby outfit in
the seoond game of Friday night's
play, Is without question the great
est high school quint to appear here
tills season. Only twice In three
years have the Rutherfordton lads
been defeated. In that time they
have defeated the cream of basket
ball talent In the two Carolina*,
and one of their two defeats was
by a prep school team. Earlier this
year, playing at Rutherfordton. the
Shelby boys held the record-mak
ers to a narrow-margin victory. In
that game one of the Shelby regu
lars was out and with him back in
the running the Morris-Falls five
believe It has an even chance of
turning In a win over the famous
visitors. To do so, however, the
Shelby coaches have told their
boys that they must play an even
more inspired game, than they did
in their second contest with Lat
timore. The psychological angle Is
In Shelby's favor, for the visiting
quint, although expecting to ha^c
to put out some, believes it has the
number of the Shelby shooters
Capt Hulick, Red Jolley, Max Put
nam, Ray Brown, and O. C. Con
nor, Shelby regulars, are pointing
to the game as they have not to
any other this year, because they'd
rather even the count with Rutt
erfordton than do most anything
else they know.
The girls game, although it does
not pack as much rivalry, will be
well worth seeing as an eye-opener
for the boys' clash. The clever
young misses who ran their string
of wins to eleven before losing then
dropped two games in a row. As a
result they’ve been hearing things
from their coaches this week arc!
with their feminine fighting spirit
aroused they are determined to
finish the season without another
defeat.
Then The Blr Game
And on Saturday night comes
the big game, the most-talked git Is
contest ever staged In the county
The PoUcville girls have won 13
vanquished opponents was the
contests. Numbered among their
smooth LattUnore team. As a result
of their undefeated record the
Polkvilie girls, paced by Miss Oold
a forward that could show sonic
boys about dripping in baskets, laid
claim to the county title. The Shel
by girls, defeated once in the
county and having defeated the
same team, Immediately challeng
ed the title claim.
"All right, then," came back the
Polkvilie girls, "well Just play you
and show you how champions play.”
And the game was sheduled for
Saturday night.
Unless a snow storm blocks the
streets and highways the steps
leading into the Shelby tin can
promise to be packed with basket
ball fans Friday night and again
Saturday night. For in .hose two
nights a county that produces bas
ketball material as good as an> of

County Cage Tourney To Open
In Shelby At An Early Date;
Lattimore, Shelby Favorites
| Around 10 Basketball quints To
Compote For Rotary Cup
Title
The annual county-wide tour
nament (or the basketball
championship of Cleveland
county and the Rotary club cup
will probably get underway next
week.
Casey Morris, athletic director of
the Shelby high school, announces
that at a meeting of school prin
cipals and coaches here Saturday a
schedule for the tournament will
be outlined.
Play Four Nights.
Indications are now that the
tournament will run through four
nights with at least two games per
night. It was at first thought that
the annual tourney, an athletic
highlight of the year In Cleveland,
could start on a Thursday night
and wind up with the champion
ship game on Saturday night. But
chances are that so many teams
will enter that It will be necessary
to have four nights’ play.
The I.attlmore and Shelby quints,
which for years have battled toe
to-toe for the Rotary club, are
ranked as favorites to meet In the
title game, but there are several
other fast teams hi the county
which have been coming on rapid
ly. To date the Shelby and Lmttt
more quints are all square with
each other, both having won a
game. The Latttmore-Shelby rival
ry is not by far the only feature of
the annual tourney. There is the
rivalry between the Kings Moun
tain, Orover and No 9 schools, and
the western and up-county rivalry
of Belwood, Falls ton, Polkvtllr,
Piedmont, Mooreaboro and others.

Would Cut Salaries
Of County Officers
To the Editor of The Star:
I have been thinking for some
time of saying something through
your paper about our Cleveland
county officers' salaries, and while
I do not wish to get Into a contro
versy with you, yet as you have al
ready mentioned the 'nbject In ant
editorial January 29 and as our
views seem to be entirely different,
I wish to refer to and express my
disagreement on some things you
said in that editorial. But first I
wish to say that you are publishing j
a good, big, newsy paptr and get
ting a big advertising business, and
so you are perhaps not feeling the
depression like some of us are.
What I am going to say Is not
against our present officers (all of
them who know me are my friends,
I hope), but opposing the present
salaries.
in your editorial mentioned above
you said the cutting should be done
at the top, speaking of the Federal
government, now if the Federal gov
ernment won't cut salaries, if they
won't help us, I don't consider tha'
a good reason that we should not
try to help ourselves. That will not
excuse us for not doing our duty,
for not doing what Is tight. High
salaries benefit only a few. We can
not all hold office. It is to the In
terest of the tax payers to have ex
penses as low as possible.
No matter how hard a farmer may
try to be optimistic he Just can't
himself believe that times are good.
Not only are the national and
state governments facing a deficit,
but the farmer is facing a deficit.
Some might say it looks good, it
sounds big for our county te pay
her officers a big salary If any of
the other counties want to beat us
in that expense item I feel that they
should be welcome to the honor If
It be one. That is partly what’s the
matter with us now, especially as
Individuals, trying to keep up with
the times with the other fellow. We
have been living beyond our means:
but we are going to have a change
our way of living, the times demand
it. The Star recently made public
the fact—actually told it on us—
that of all the automobile owners
In the county nearly half of us had
no tags, the cars were parked
That shows we are being forced back
where we belong.
I think cutting expenses should
begin at home and that every citi
*en should cut his expenses in every
way he can and I also think that
our county government expenses
should be cut. Again referring to
your editorial, I don’t think It fair
to compare our county officers' sal
aries with those of the Federal gov
ernment but think it nearer right to
compare them with the income oi
loss, as the case might be of the tax
payers of Cleveland county.
One county office alone pays $4,
600. This amount is? perhaps about
equal to what a half dozen big
fanners on an average lost last
year. Certainly I think salaries
should be cut, not only ten per cent
but several tunes 10 percent.
$100 00 per month is n pretty lair
salary for a very well equipped man
now. $120 00 is a big pile of money
these days. One thin? that bears
out my claim that salaries should be
cut is the fact that over 40 applied
for the office of clerk of county re
corder's court, and I am oi the opin
ion that the one appointed is capa
ble of filling one of the higher of
fices, and perhaps many others who
applied could handle not only the
one applied for but one of the high
er offices satisfactorily. And this of
fice doesn't pay half as much as
some of the higher officials get. I
have thought It would be a good
plan for the candidate# to s^y what
they would take the job for. But In
that case I don’t claim that the
cheapest man should always be el
ected. Anyway I think there should
be something done about it and let
the candidates know there will be
a considerable cut in salaries, or
make an agreement an 1 let them i
know just what the office will pay. i
A lot of farms and town lots were
advertised for tax last year. If the
county eventually takes ever all the
farms for taxes maybe they can
manage them better than we farm
ers can and make them pay better
and then maybe they can boost sal
aries of the officers and employes.
Perhaps they will be able to give the
boys a raise Instead of cutting salar
ies.
But while we are still trying to
pay the taxes on our property and
have the privilege of voting I want
to know if there can't be somethin?
done to get expenses down
I would like to know how every
voter and tax payer in the county
feels about it, except our office
holders. I am not talking to them or
about them but I am talking about
their salaries. So we could not ex
pect them to be like the young
Cleveland county man who took
some potatoes to a certain cotton
mill village to sell and fceing asked
the price of them said- ''Mammy
said If I couldn't get 60 cents to
take 50."
This is no time to play politics.
We should get down to business. Do
I stand alone on this question or
does some one agree with me?

Citizens Discuss Light Plant Sale
Little Man Wonders
Why So Much Worry
Shelby Man Would Like to Know
How ( likens Of Other Town* U
Like S. P. t\
To the Editor:
Reports reaching Shelby, some of
them first-hand, Indicate that the
four mayors who wrote here and
urged us to sell our light plant to
the S. P. U. have citlzerc in their
towns who do not feel that way
about it.
One Hickory man who visited here
over the week end told his friend
that “you'll be a fool to sell. The S.
P. U. owns and operates our plant
and I know what I'm talking about.
The majority of the ether citizens
there who have to pay the bills will
tell you the same tiling even If the
mayor says otherwise.’’
Write and ask some fiiend in Mt.
Airy if everything is as lovely there
about rates, etc., as the Ml. Airy
mayor told the Shelby mayor. More
people live in a town than the may
or, and the others pay the bills—
light bills, tax bills, major's salar
ies, etc.
There are a hundred or more
towns in North Carolina served by
the S. P. U. Did the Shelby mayor
hear from only four or did he write
to only four for their opinions? If
he heard from the others, why was
not that information pcssed along?
And who picked out the particular
town to write?
While the mayor and aldermen i
were visiting those towns, if they I
say they want the people to have j
the full facts before deciding, why.
didn't each of the aldermen and
mayor go down different streets,
stop three citizens each, ask them
what they thought of S. F. U, rates
and then tell us what those various
people, tax-payers, thought about it?
Instead they rode to a few town,
did we know not what, rode back
to those town about it, What we
need is a statement giving the other
side. When they have a debate ovei
at the high school the judges do
not hear just one side and pa-s
along what they've heard If the
Shelby officials want to give us
proper information for ligurlng this
thing out. why not give us some
views from people dissatisfied as
well as satisfied? Don’t tell us ev
erybody in the S. P. U. towns is
satisfied. The mayors may be well
pleased with S. P. U. ownership.
Just taking a blind guess, perhaps
our mayor would But r. mayor pays
only one light and power bill each
month, and there are several thou
sand other payers.
Interest
It’s amusing to hear this tain
about how they’ll help the little man
by selling, If that's so, the end of
time cannot be far away. No one
sver saw so many people* who are
not little men working to save the
poor little fellows. That big-heart
edness is kinder Scaring the little
fellow.
They can make their figures look
mighty good. Duke would never
have made such a fortune had he
not been able to make his figures
look good to the other fellow. You
have a house, I walk up and offer
you $1,500 and you take me without
asking a little more. Ever hear of
such a thing happening. Yet they
want (and who is urging us on and
why?) us to sell right now. quick
pronto. Very few people trade that
way. And lots of people are looking
now beyond the ends of their noses.
Tax might be pulled down a little
now—I doubt it—but a few years
from now up they'll go—and what
In the world will we have to sell to
the first bidder then?
The little fellow better begin think
tag'. And if he thinks, he’ll quickly
realize he never heard of so many
Santa Clauses running around two
months after Christmas, or on
Christmas, trying to cut his taxes
tnd just give him something.
In conclusion I have me request
:o make. I am asking the Editor of
:his paper to write the mayor of

bis views on the matter and that his
reply be published in this paper.

Woodmen Would Not
Surrender $26,000 Of
City Of Shelby Bonds
Tn the event Shelby sold her
light plant and attempted to retire
outstanding bonds in order to clear
all bonded indebtedness, would the
bond holders be willing to surren
der the bonds upon payment of
same before they mature? In order
to throw some light on this ques
tion M. Q. Hamrick, member of the
Woodmen of the World wrote the
Sovereign camp, Woodman of the
World at Ohama, Nebraska, this fra
ternal order holding *26,000 of Shel
by bonds. Special School District No.
33, 5 l-4s, dated May 1st, 1931.
Not this reply to Mi-. Hamrick’s
letter, written by John T. Yates,
secretary of the finance committee:
"We note your inquiry with ref
erence to going in and redeeming
some of the outstanding bonds be
fore maturity. We could not con
sent to release these bonds before
maturity except upon the payment
of a certain premium therefor. We
purchased these bonds in the first
instance upon the theory we would
hold them to maturity and at the
time of our purchase we paid a con
siderable premium for the bonds.
Now- then, if we were to releale the
bonds, presumably at par, we would
of course subject ourselves to a
considerable loss as the premium
has not of course yet been earned
and therefore I am afraid that we
would not care to release the bonds
before their maturity date. The
bonds do not carry any option priv
ilege as to payment before matur
ity.” ,
Why Does S. P. U.
Seek Shelby Plant
To The Edit*-:
Why shoul? the Southern Pubhr
Utilities company wish to purchase
our light plant if it is losing
money?
Articles have been published con
taining figures that make us be
lieve we have been losing money
operating our light plant. Differ
ent articles stated that it is cost
ing us so much for the upkeep of
our plant that it does not pay us
to continue operating it and that
we should sell to Southern Public
Utilities company.
Ask yourself this question: Would
you purchase a business after the
owner has shown you that he is
losing money each year operating
this place of business? The answer
is emphatically no!
Then why does Southern Public
Utilities company wish to purchase
our light plant if it is losing
money?
It does not take a Boudin to
figure this question.
